This space was beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. Jane was extremely easy to work with and very communicative. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. The security guard was also very helpful and extremely kind. Truly can't recommend this location enough.

Auction Options in San Francisco

Planning an auction can seem overwhelming so make sure to get help with everything that can be outsourced. There is no need to do it all on your own. Luckily, San Francisco has a plethora of experienced auction planners to give you a hand with the details.

  • Auctioneer
    Hiring an auctioneer for your San Francisco auction location should be the first thing you do after deciding where your auction will take place. After all, you really cannot have an auction without one. Make sure the one you choose has a state license and is bonded, experienced, and professional.

  • Food Service
    You do not have to have food at your auction, but it is a nice way to get people to stay longer and come back the next time you have one. Hungry people do not like to stay and shop.

  • Security
    Auctions are typically filled with lots of expensive items so having security is important. You do not have to hire a whole crew, but one or two security guards would be perfect for a small to medium auction.

  • Furniture
    Whether your auction location is an empty warehouse or a huge mansion, you will probably need to get some kind of furniture like seating for large groups during the auctioning process. You will also need tables for food and other items.

  • Professional Equipment
    There are many things that you cannot do without when planning an auction. Excellent sound equipment, staging, and lighting are just a few of these that you need to think about.

Do not start packing until you know everything there is to know about the city you choose for your auction location. Find out the advantages and disadvantages of having your auction location in San Francisco before heading out.

Advantages

Disadvantages

  • Not a good place for a drive
    With gas prices at triple the average cost in the US and traffic jams day and night, you should probably invest in a private car service or public transport.
